Vanvlak,

Did you do anything with this idea?

Just curious.

Gracias,

Glenn

He of many demented ideas never attempted/executed
Sad to say....  yes.
Here is a progress report:
1) rules - nothing done; but I was thinking of simply using Epic Space Marine rules limiting the number of vehicles.
2) vehicles - I chose 6mm scale (hence the choice in (1), incidentally) and have assembled a few odds and ends based on Epic 40K models - still being painted, pics when I have a couple of models done.
3) gaming surface - designed a complicated multi-level 2' x 2' board, which I realised I will never finish or have the space to store; moved on to a simpler board (still to be started) and a modular concept - more n this once I have pics.

Since their use is not limited to this project, here is how the modular board is being developed: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=61103.0
The beastie shown in the pics is part of the sub-tank game - although not a tank, it looks like a submarine sort of 6-legged spider.

I had a maybe bad taste idea while watching all the documentaries about JFK's assassination. I think the cost of buying a 1/43rd limo as well as my mate was not being supportive put me off. Could be done as a demo game using a few snipers putting some theories to the test.
